Ei Hand Cannon (Weapon)

Creators:  Telema on the planet Shofar

Power:  11
Range:  2
Accuracy:  3

Description:  The Ei hand cannon is the most powerful handheld weapon ever made in recorded history.  It is no wonder considering that its creators have an outer skin layer that is impervious to most other types of gunfire.  This weapon doesn't come cheap.  But with blasting power capable of blowing a hole through a solid metal wall, nothing gets in the way of the Ei.

Loure Immobilizer (Weapon)

Creators:  Weiss on the planet Dulcian

Power:  10
Range:  1
Accuracy:  9

Description:  As a method of administering poison into victims, the Loure immobilizer is a tribute to its serpent-like creators.  This weapon is a wrist device equipped with a needle capable of a super fast injection.  The needle is capable of penetrating the epidermis so quickly that most victims don't even feel the attack.

The level of poison issued may be adjusted.  At the highest setting the victim will be dead before he hits the ground.  The only real drawback to the Loure immobilizer is that the the user is limited to the range of the needle, a small concession to make if this weapon is used by a skilled and stealthy individual.

Passepid Shield (Weapon)

Creators: Strozzi on the planet Kortholt

Description:  A weapon designed for a true warrior.  The Passepid is an energy shield that has the ability to change angles.  The actual device is a deceptively simple looking wristband that hides extremely complex circuitry.  Able to detect impact up to a millionth of a second before it occurs, the Passepid will automatically adjust to the optimum deflection angle.

Young strozzi warriors go through intensive training to master such a device.  The complete potential of this shield can only be unlocked if the wielder learns to work with the device rather than against it.

A few tuners have been seen wearing the Passepid.  But such sightings are rare since in order to acquire this device, the tuner would have to come to a trade agreement with the notoriously inhospitable strozzi. 

vi Sniper Rifle (Weapon)

Creators:  Strozzi on the planet Kortholt

Power:  5
Range:  8
Accuracy:  7

Description:  A sniper rifle that has been designed for close combat situations.  The strozzi are a proud race of warriors and hunters that need versatile weapons.  The tip of the barrel has been sharpened to a spear-like point and the weapon itself has been thinned and elongated so it may be wielded like a staff.

Such modifications have come at a slight cost.  The extra long barrel and unusual tip shape are not optimum for the rifle portion of this weapon.  This sniper is powerful but perhaps not as accurate as others of its class.

Augmented B9 Pistol (Weapon)

Creators:  Vivald on the planet Zink

Power:  3
Range:  5
Accuracy:  6

Description:  Not the most powerful of pistols but above average accuracy makes up for this slight flaw.  Like other technology coming from Zink, the Augmented B9 is created from organic substances. It is not a complete weapon in and of itself.  Rather, it's designed to attach to other weapons and "grow" on them.  The end end result is a weapon with an additional firing barrel or an increase in stats from the extra power, range and accuracy the B9 provides.

Resonator (Weapon)

Description:  The weapon of choice for most tuners.  It is a large, two-pronged metal weapon given to a tuner once they finish their apprenticeship.  Traditionally, the master would make it as a parting gift for their apprentice.

Each resonator is custom built to vibrate at the same frequency level the tuner does, which thereby allowing the tuner to potentially amplify his/her powers when in a combat situation.  On a more basic fighting level, the resonator is wielded like a staff.

The special metal used to design resonators has unique properties to it and is only found on Gemshorn.  The metal is almost indestructible and will adopt a faint color based on what frequency level it is designed to vibrate.

Edim Rifle (Weapon)

Creators: Ramea on the planet Gemshorn

Power:  9
Range:  1
Accuracy:  3

Summary:  An extremely powerful short-range rifle.  Originally designed to be a pistol to help miners get through especially dense ore, the ramea quickly discovered that the blasts were too powerful coming from such a short-barreled weapon.  So the Edim was modified into a rifle, making it slightly more accurate.

This rifle is still primarily used for mining.  Though it is rather effective at blasting away inconvenient walls if one has a mind to do so.

Saraband Cloaking Device (Weapon)

Creators:  Humans on Tabor

Description:  Cloaking technology is still very much in its infancy.  This particular device is only issued to soldiers on delicate missions in the Special Assault Corp as they are far too expensive for the average grunt.  The Saraband is a wristband but it could, in theory, attach to almost any limb.  It detects the surrounding light levels and reflects them before the rays have a chance to hit the wearer.

It is far from perfect, however.  This device works on a charge and must work harder where there is more light to reflect.  Therefore, nighttime use is recommended.  The Saraband also only makes the wearer visually invisible.  So one must take care to avoid those with excellent senses of smell or hearing.

The Imperium is very protective of the Saraband for obvious reasons.  Only trusted soldiers with solid service records are allowed to use them.  There have been rumors, however, that somehow a few of these devices have disappeared and are now on the black market.

Menut Enviromental Suit (Weapon)

Creators: Zelenca on the planet Shawm

Description: An environment suit designed to fit most bipedals. The suit was designed by the zelenca for when, on those rare occasions, they had distinguished air-breathing visitors. Essentially it is a second skin that filters the oxygen out of the water for the visitor.

Courant Visor (Weapon)

Creators:  Scarlati on the planet Rebec


Description:  Though not technically a weapon, the Courant visor is considered by most hunters to be an extremely useful accessory.  The visor is pulled down over the eyes and allows for both night vision and a complete 360 degree view of your surroundings regardless of which way one is actually looking.

The 360 degree view allows a hunter to remain motionless but still be completely aware of his surroundings.  The scarlati as a species already have natural night vision and the earlier versions of this visor did not include this feature.  However, they decided to add it once the visor started to attract a wider audience (such as bounty hunters and assassins).

Db Mounted Pistol (Weapon)

Creators:  Bac on the planet Corna

Power: 3
Range: 3
Accuracy: 5

Description:  With barely average accuracy and unimpressive power or range, the Db pistol is seemingly unimpressive on paper.  However its developer did give it one decided advantage: it is a hands free weapon.

While bac are mobile on land, they generally fly from place to place.  Therefore, having a weapon that does not require the use of their upper or lower limbs is exceedingly useful.  The pistol has a wire that may be inserted into a muscle area of choice on one's body.  When the muscle is tensed, the pistol fires.

Such an unorthodox firing mechanism does take quite a bit of getting used to less one shoots the pistol by accident.  Many bounty hunters and other beings in less than reputable professions have adopted this weapon claiming it to be an extremely useful backup in fighting situations.

Fm ii Pistol (Weapon)

Creators:  Zelenca on the planet Shawm

Power:  6
Range:  4
Accuracy:  4

Description:  The zelenca have become famous for their battleships.  However, the Fm ii pistol is arguably one of their more intriguing inventions.  Unlike the traditional pistol or rifle which fires bolts of energy, the Fm ii kills with sound waves.  The front of the pistol is specially shaped to fire concentrated sonic waves at a target which will then damage the organs.

There are some definite pros and cons to this pistol.  The sonic attack can be extremely effective but is also greatly affected by the air or water density it is being fired in.  But the fact that is does work underwater makes it a versatile weapon.

The Fm ii has a default frequency setting that is powerful enough to at least render most targets unconscious if not totally kill.  However, every living being has different natural vibrations.  An experienced handler of this pistol will adjust the sound frequency being shot out in order to inflict the appropriate amount of damage desired on a target.  Thus, in the hands of a professional, this pistol is certainly something to be feared.

V7 Rifle (Weapon)

Creators:  Humans on the planet Tabor.

Power:  6
Range:  6
Accuracy:  3

Description:  A standard issue medium-ranged rifle given to all Taborian soldiers during their mandatory years of service.  The V7 rifle has decent power and range but lacks the accuracy of some of its more refined counterparts.  But, when Taborian soldiers arrive by the thousands, the sheer amount of firepower usually compensates for one or two missed shots.

C6 Sniper Rifle (Weapon)

Creators:  Scarlati on the planet Rebec

Power:  4
Range:  8
Accuracy:  9

Description:  One of the few truly impressive technological feats to be produced by the Scarlati.  The C6 sniper rifle has been perfected by a millennia of hunting ferocious desert animals and is now the perferred choice for most professional assassins.

The C6 sniper rifle is both sleek and lightweight which allows for quick getaways once the kill has been made.  Though the rifle takes a few seconds to recharge between shots, a single shot is really all one should need.
